FORTY OR FIFTY MILLICN DOL- a8 LARS. | This is the sum, which may possibly be added to our tax~list by the late de- cision of the United Staes: Supreme Court (the opinion by Chief Justice Fuller) in Sanford vs. Poe. That case holds that the property of an express company liable to taxation by a State is not merely the tangible property it has therein, but it addition such prom portion of its total capital as the busi- ness done in such State bears fo the entire business done throughout the Union. The same is held to be true as to railroads, telegraph, telephone, Pullman Pallace car and other com- inter-state business. _ panies doing: an ‘Lo ilustrate how this works, The * Sonthern’ Express Company now pays, besides its license tax on gross receipts, a property tax only on the physical property it has in North Carolina, con. sisting of a few horses, wagens and sales, By this decision. it must pay jn addition a property tax upon a pro- rata cfiis capital, Iti: has a capital of $10 060 000 and does one-tenth ‘ct ite business in Norch Carolina this will add $1,000,000 to cur, tax list. We assume these figures for “{ilustration merely, for we do not know either its capital tuck or the per cent of its total basiacss which is done in North Caro. lina. “But let us furn to other corpora- tions which ‘we’ krow. more _ about. There is the Western Union Telegraph Company with its capital stock of $120,.400,000 on wnich it pays 6 or 8 per cent dividends, though its actual {pliysical, tangible property is probably “worth not more than $23,000,000, the ~ pbulanve being water. It levies upon the people of North Carolina rates : high enough to pay their proportionate “part on the $120,000,000 of capital, but chey pay taxes to the public only on their few poles, wires and “sich like” in North Carolina, valued at only $182,000. while probably one fortieth of their busin ss is done in North Caro -Tina. Ht so they are taxable not only 4 ou the $182,000 tangivle property, but on'ene fortieth of their $120,000,000 capital. Tis wili add $3,000,000 to the tax list of he State. In the same way, the Postal Telegraph Company and the Puliman Palace Car Company will add largely tc the tax-list. ‘then there is the “Southern” Ruil- ‘road system, When it c mes to pay. ing taxes they insist on paying taxes only upon $8,100,000 of tangible property lowted in the State, but when it comes to levying tolls upon tue pub- lic they insist on this being high enough to pay the State’s proportion:l ee wee le CO Pee won, - + ~*~ * 40: | ticles, and a fair proportion of the| capital used in. gathering this wealth is London or New York, either, for that matter. — a ee As CLiet Justice Fuller clearly. pute it in the Express Company case, “How is itthat $23,000 of horses, wagons, sufes, etc., produce $275,000 gross earnings in a year? The answer 1s obvious.” And in like manner, and with like force it may be asked how can the bare $8,100,000 of the “Southern” in North Garolina( which alone is now taxed) earn guod dividends, not only on itself, but to pay interest on one- fourth of $120.000,000 bonded indebt- edness anu on one-fourth of $40,000,- 000 of “Southern” stock, besides the enormous salaries they are known to pay and the expenses 04 running news— papers and lobbyist:. With high rates and most of their capitaljexempt from taxes no wonder sorporas ons aud their officials are rolling in wealth, while the people are gettIng so poor that a petty, office or a iree pass is considered suffi cient inducement, by the corporations, to offer members of the Legisloture, to vote against any change in favor of better conaitions for the burden bearers and wealth producers. The railroad commissioners can, it they will take ‘he decisions of the United States Supreme Court for their guide, largely increase the amount of taxes paid by these wealth gatherers It may admit of consideration in the light of the Express Company decision if the large Life and Fire insurance companies doing business in the State, but with their headquarters North, are not taxable on a prorata part of their capital, proportionate to the amount of business done in this State. The wealth earners have borne the scle burden ot taxation loug enough. It is time the wealth gatherers and wealth consuwers should pay ‘their part. If they can use a vast machine to thrus, its fingers within the borders of our State to gather up and take home its wealth, it is fair that a pro rata part of the machine used for that purpose should pay taxes to the government, whose limits it evades and whose gov and protects it while gathering up its har- ernment eutorces its contracts & Observer. siake femean —— The Injunction Case, etal GreENsBORO, N.

She must be sympathetic, orderly, dig- nified and incapable of betraying alarm before her patient. She must be ready and quick to act in any emergency, but slow to assume authurity that be- longs to her superiors. She must be of a cheerful. hopeful nature. With thesa attributes, joined to the practical knowledge ot arranging a sick room, preparing the invalid’s bed, removing bandages, the giving of medicines (as well as understanding their properties), a knowledge of cooking and a desire to do her duty regardless of her surround- ings or of any adverse criticism, she would be amodel nurse. There is, of course, some theoretical throu h text books and lectures to be gone through, but without the other qualifications no woman can become a training successfel nurse.” Grocers are more or less interested in hens and their product, and they may be curious to Know how many eggs a hen can lay.
